Abstract :
We demonstrate feedback control of silicon microrings by monitoring the light inside the resonators with a Contacless Integrated Photonic Probe (CLIPP), not requiring photon tapping from the waveguide. Tuning, real-time stabilization and swapping of the microring resonant wavelengths are shown.
